We study the regulation of a monopolistic firm that provides a non-marketed output based on multiple substitutable … costs. For this novel setting, we investigate the theoretically optimal Bayesian regulation mechanism. We find that the … non-Bayesian regulation can indeed get close to the second best of the Bayesian menu of contracts regulation. …

The capacity of the transmission network determines the extent of integration of a multi-national energy market. Cross-border externalities render coordination of network capacity valuable. Is it then optimal to collect powers in the hands of a single regulator? Should a common system operator...

We try to better understand the comparative advantages of structural and behavioral remedies of deregulation in electricity markets, an eminent policy issue for which the experimental evidence is scant and problematic. Specifically, we investigate theoretically and experimentally the effects on...
